Very Good Condition
From office hours to weekend wanderings, this vintage Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM in Damier Ebène is an elegant carryall for daily life. With dual shoulder straps, it keeps essentials close on commutes, city errands or travel, while gold-tone hardware and signature canvas add timeless polish to any ensemble.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside the Neverfull MM? A: With approximate measurements of 32 × 28 × 15 cm, it’s a generous everyday tote. It usually holds a 13-inch laptop (in a slim sleeve), A4 documents/folders, a long wallet, keys, sunglasses in a slim case, a 500 ml water bottle, a small cosmetics pouch and a lightweight cardigan or scarf. Capacity can vary slightly by production year and organiser use—ask us if you’d like a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a laptop or tablet? A: A standard 13-inch laptop generally fits horizontally; slimmer 14-inch devices may fit but can be snug at the top edge. Larger 15-inch laptops are better suited to the GM size. For best comfort and to protect the lining, we recommend a thin sleeve and avoiding excessive weight on a daily basis.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The Neverfull has an open top with a clasp hook closure for quick access. Inside, this Damier Ebène MM features the classic red striped textile lining and one internal zipped pocket. Side laces allow you to cinch the bag into a sleeker silhouette. For commuting or travel, consider a zip pouch or organiser for valuables.
Q: Does this bag come with the detachable pouch? A: Many Neverfull bags from around 2014 onwards were sold with a detachable flat pochette. This specific listing states “no accessories,” so a pouch is not included here. If you’d like us to confirm anything that isn’t listed, just ask.
Q: What does the date code FL1174 mean? A: Louis Vuitton used date codes up to around 2021. The code “FL1174” indicates French manufacture (“FL”) and the 17th week of 2014. On Neverfull models, the code is typically found on or near the interior pocket. Note: newer LV bags use an embedded microchip instead of a visible date code; this piece predates that change.
Q: What materials is this made from? Is Damier Ebène leather? A: The checked exterior is Louis Vuitton’s coated canvas (PVC-coated for durability) with dark brown treated leather trim and gold-tone hardware. The canvas is hard-wearing and water-resistant, while the leather trim should be kept away from moisture and oils to preserve its finish.
Q: How should I care for the coated canvas, lining and leather trim? A: Wipe the canvas with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals or alcohol wipes. Do not use leather conditioners on the canvas; if you choose to condition the leather trim, use a high-quality neutral product very sparingly after testing on a discreet area. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid prolonged sunlight or humidity. Be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim onto lighter interiors and leather.
Q: Are the straps comfortable and can this be worn crossbody? A: The dual flat shoulder straps (approx. 19 cm drop on this piece) are designed for shoulder carry and hand/crook-of-arm wear; the Neverfull MM does not come with a crossbody strap. The slim straps are comfortable for daily essentials, but we recommend avoiding sustained heavy loads to minimise stress on the glazing and keep the bag looking its best.
Q: Will the canvas crack or handles peel over time? A: The coated canvas is generally very durable; true canvas cracks are uncommon but are difficult to remedy once they occur. With heavy or prolonged loads, the strap glazing can show wear on high-friction points. Sensible packing, alternating shoulders, and periodic rest help longevity. Louis Vuitton can assess glazing/strap repairs; canvas cracks are typically not repairable.
Q: Is the Neverfull MM still considered a current style? A: Introduced in 2007, the Neverfull remains one of Louis Vuitton’s signature totes. Availability of specific interiors/colours can vary by season and region, so the pre-loved market is often the best way to find particular combinations like Damier Ebène with red lining.
